nice to hear its running niall, I remember my 3 1st starts with the metro, ( different engines ) the last one made me well nervous! as the second 1st was a nightmare! I had to borrow a loom to start it, as the one I bought was f*cked badly. had some electrical fault. When that engine died, we had to go about pulling the car apart and fitting the replacement engine. So the 3rd 1st start was more nerve racking, as that was going make or break the car.
that 1st start went, nothing when turned the key, checked battery, jumped it, then it wouldn't fire. my dad said, hang on, I will hold the throttle open, and you fire it up. this time we were panicking a little, as we thought here we go again. as soon as I turned the key the car blared into life! just like it was a new car! ticked over nicely for 30 mins, what a relief! and I tell you it was a proud moment for us! seeing something you have built fire for the 1st time, is a buzz. Wait till it gets on the road, and you can say YEAH!! I built this! When you power away!
